This update is available for Samsung Mobile with Android 7.0 and above.

Secure Folder leverages the defence-grade Samsung Knox security platform to create a private, encrypted space on your Samsung Galaxy phone. Apps and data moved to Secure Folder are sandboxed separately on the device and gain an additional layer of security and privacy.

Easier and more convenientStore your private files and apps safely. It’s easy to move apps and data by tapping “Move to Secure Folder” or by importing them via “Add files” from inside Secure Folder. Your personal apps and data will be separated and encrypted so that they are protected from malicious attacks.

More secureLock your Secure Folder with an additional PIN, pattern, password, or biometric lock, so that only you can access your private pictures, apps, and data.

Effectively manage dataAdd or copy your apps and data into Secure Folder. You can use Secure Folder to store your private contacts, photos, and more in a separate account. This allows you to have two profiles on a device so you can manage your data more effectively.

※ Secure Folder will operate only on official software released by Samsung Electronics. Features or UX may vary depending on the device, OS version, etc.

※ Secure Folder is a service, based on Samsung account, that provides an independent, isolated environment within your mobile device. Applications and data moved or added to Secure Folder (e.g. photos, audio files, movie files, and documents), will not be accessible from outside Secure Folder, whether by USB or Wi-Fi Direct. If your mobile device detects any rooting or custom ROMs, Secure Folder will automatically lock-up in order to prevent unauthorised access, in which case you will no longer be able to access or use the contents within Secure Folder. Therefore, please make sure you back up any important applications or data elsewhere, such as on your personal computer, before moving them to Secure Folder. Samsung is not responsible for any data loss or inaccessibility.

Use Backup and Restore of the below path to store your customers’ data more safely.Secure Folder > Settings > Backup and restore > Back up Secure Folder data

App User

This is awesome. I’m glad Samsung has decided to put a focus on security as I feel this is an area android was starting to fall behind in.

I have this app on my Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note8 and I really like it a lot!!!! It came pre-installed and I have used it for certain things and I must say I really like it!!!! Keep up the good work, devs!!!!! 😃😊☺️

Md Nishad

Best security

Tanzeel Hussain

Great app and easy to use.

Houman MN

This is an amazing application made by Samsung. I love it because its like having two phones at once. I run vpn app on my secure phone and at the same time use my phone with no vpn. Or having two whatsapps at the same time one for work and one for family.

Duy Quang Nguyen

This app works similarly to a VM on the phone plus the VM is secured at hardware level. What a genius idea.

Jonathan Brewbaker

Great program but is there anyway possible in the settings or will it be implemented to be able to use a third party video player such as MX Player Pro?

Ricky Raxx

Have this on my S8+. And it honestly works smoothly. I can install apps and use apps as if it was another phone. And just go back to my regular apps with no problem. Keeps things secure. Hopefully they add more functionality and more customization. But works well at what it says it does. I can keep my apps private without anyone even knowing this space exists.

Lacks an option to stop push notifications from all apps inside Secure Folder

ASTA Lavista

Excellent Awesome and a must have app.

Ly Nguyen

Does what it says; mainly useful for work-related separation when you’re limited to a single device or for those who need the defined boundary between personal and other things.

Sepanta Esmaeili

I really suggest to get it!!

Łukasz Qa

Great app to separate important files. Good job.

jejo john

Good work guys!! Everything is fine . I would have loved to see a launcher like option with separate home screen like knox had.. Helps to make it more personal… Thanks anyway.

Ray Li

Only gripe is that pressing home button takes you to the phone home instead of secure fielder home. Maybe you can implement something like “single tap” to return to secure folder home while “double tap” to return to phone home.

So since my latest software update the app was removed from my home screen as well as from the section we can add apps from to our screen to access it. I looked in my apps and it’s still installed on my phone I just have absolutely no way to access this. Please fix this issue with out me having to uninstall or erase the data saved in it.

Sanoj S

Really this app is awesome.

App User

This is the best ever secure thing I’ve ever had on my device, im the old user of my knox then on my s7 edge i start using secure folder. Now on my s8+ first thing i did, that was configured the secure folder. It’s not only the ultimate solution for securing things besides i give you an separate environment to use second social media apps and any other app which you like to use. Im using 2 WhatsApps, cause of secure folder. In past my knox did the same for me.

Aldorino Adhisasmita

As advertised by far. I have no major problems on my S7 G930FD. When i knew this app, i’ll stick to samsung. Please, don’t close this project. You have a big potential!! Love this app and samsung!!👍❤️❤️👍

Shane Sela

Works very well. Would like to be able to drag an app into the folder rather than creating a second version of the app. Ouod avoid all the logging on and deletion steps. The current is giod ifvyou have multiple profiles. Would also like the option of leaving the folder open while in use but locking it at screen lock. The current lock options are immediate or timed.

Kiarash Pourheidar

I love it it’s quite similar to samsung my knox but i did like my knox more than this one but still this one does the thing as well you should try it

J RUPERT M.J.C.

A great app like the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is a beautiful phone 😍😍😍😍😍

Yourz Techy

The best and most secured Application to be found on any device… Thank you Samsung ..❤

App User

I have samsung Galaxy s8 and it works flawlessly with it.. super awesome app

Aditya Shah

This app is the perfect replacement for Knox. It’s easy and simple to use. I found myself using it regularly, without any issues. It’s frankly impossible to get into it without your consent and that’s something that is valuable to a lot of people. It’s just amazing. I particularly liked the quick actions feature.

App User

My secure file not found last two days please help me …

edris mateso

I like it. Samsung is great. This offers great protection against FBI CIA Mossad and other losers

Aashish Choudhary

What an awesome app thumps up for this

Jonathan Weiss

Does exactly as advertised. Great solution to privacy on your phone! To all those rating 1 star because they don’t understand how to use it: get over it, read up on a manual/instructions and leave a fair objective review.

Rom H

Love it can use password or fingerprint if you don’t want others to snoop around with you’re documents, photos etc.
